For example, suppose that the manufacturing process described in the previous example produces engines whose weights are normally distributed with a mean of 1250 and a standard deviation of 12. The ...

Flickr via Google Images Standard deviation is a concept that's thrown around frequently in finance. So what is it? When working with a quantitative data set, one of the first things we want to know ...

An animated guide explaining how the standard devition can give you a clearer picture of a sample than averages alone. An example involving zoo keepers and some very dangerous animals demonstrates ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Several simple estimates of the mean and standard deviation of a normal population are discussed. The efficiencies of these estimates are ...

Many standard test and estimation procedures require the computation of the sample standard deviation. It is, however, often possible to replace the standard deviation by the more easily computed ...
